| Brian Winters | Secondary Scoring Guard / 3-and-Mid Role | 30.0 | High-Medium (scoring off bench / spot starter) | 15.9 | 2.8 | 4.1 | 1.0 (0.9 + 0.1) | 11.90 | Winters provided perimeter scoring and spacing, likely as a 3-point / mid-range threat, and contributed modest playmaking. | — |

| Junior Bridgeman | Role Wing / Bench Scorer | 22.5 | Medium-Low (bench scoring minutes) | 12.5 | 3.0 | 2.7 | 0.8 (0.7 + 0.1) | 9.50 | Bridgeman likely provided scoring punch and wing depth off the bench; a supporting but useful role given his per-minute scoring. | — |
| Scott May | Situational Contributor / Bench Forward | 18.3 | Low (spot minutes) | 9.0 | 3.4 | 2.0 | 0.9 (0.8 + 0.1) | 7.15 | May appears as a lower-minute forward, contributing modest scoring and boards — maybe used in light-frontcourt or reserve lineups. (No deep source note found) | — |
| Bob Dandridge | Deep Rotation Wing / Veteran Depth | 15.8 | Low | 4.7 | 1.5 | 1.2 | 0.7 (0.5 + 0.2) | 4.85 | Dandridge likely provided depth during occasional minutes — veteran presence, perhaps spot minutes or garbage time. (Limited data for 1980–81 season) | — |

| Robert Smith | Reserve Guard (limited run) | 18.6 | Low | 6.8 | 0.8 | 2.6 | 0.7 (0.6 + 0.1) | 5.45 | Smith seems to have provided occasional guard minutes as reserve — small role, limited usage. (No deeper source found) | — |
